Introduction Days
In your first days in Gothenburg, there will be lots to do and absorb. This page provides information about activities for newly arrived students that are held at the start of the semester. The University Welcome Programme, social activities arranged by student buddies and student associations. There is also quite a lot of administrative tasks you need to take care of as a new student.
Welcome Programme
The International Student Welcome Programme is held at the beginning of each semester. The programme of events and activities provides international students with practical information about the University and living in Gothenburg. It is also a perfect opportunity to meet other international students and Student Buddies from all over the world.
Welcome services, together with numerous student buddies, usually organize a pick-up service from Landvetter airport (GOT), the central station, and the ferry terminals. International students arriving on the specific Arrival Days can sign up for free pickup.
Spring semester 2021
A tentative plan is to arrange Arrival Day on 16 January 2021. More detailed information will be published here this autumn.
We welcome our new international students to the University and to Gothenburg. Following a welcome speech, we introduce you to important University services and support functions, and current international students will share their experiences studying here. We hope you will leave the meeting feeling both welcome and better prepared for your studies ahead.
